Meta

I want to thank Nellie once again for allowing me the opportunity to keep this challenge site alive. However, there aren’t enough people taking part, either because they’re too busy, there are too many challenge sites, or the themes simply aren’t interesting enough.

I know that some people have felt too challenged by the offered themes, but in my mind that is the whole point of an artistic challenge. It’s to stretch the imagination, to step outside of our comfort zone, and to try something we may not have normally tried.

I attempted to come up with challenges with that in mind, and also to come up with themes that hadn’t been done or overdone before. Sadly, it just isn’t enough.

I appreciate (and want to thank) those of you who took part in the few challenges I listed. And though I’ll miss the venue, I won’t miss the stress of trying to come up with a theme that I think everyone will like and take part in. I knew it was a chancy proposition to take this on, but I had to try.

If there is anyone who would like to take over where I’ve left off, I’m sure that Nellie would be more than happy to work out the arrangements with you.

Thanks again to those who stuck it out. It was a fun ride while it lasted.🙂

I’ve only just stumbled upon the fact that MAMOT had restarted,,, I’ve really missed it,,, I’m sorry that it hasn’t worked out – just wished I’d known so I could have participated. Thanks for your efforts in trying to get it up and running again.

Have you ever thought about publishing ann ebook or
guest authorijg on other websites? I have a blog based uponn on the same topics yyou discuss and would really like to have you share
some stories/information. I know my vsitors would value your work.
If you’re even remotely interested, feel free
to shoot me an email.

Hello there! This post couldn’t be written much
better! Looking at this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He constantly kept talking about this. I am going to send
this information to him. Fairly certain he’ll have a great read.
I appreciate you for sharing!

Though I know a lot of artists have gone digital (and I’ve done some myself – it is lots of fun), it would be nice if this challenge remained digital free, only because the whole idea is to work within the required canvas size (and to use those little bits and scraps of paper we’ve all accumulated)!

New theme….

no more challenges

“Make a Moo or two”

Each Friday a new theme will be set for the Make-a-Moo challenge. You can make one or two pieces to show here at this blog (feel free to make more if you wish). Participating with one is fine too!

What’s a Moo?

A Moo is a little card sized 2.8 x 7 centimeters, or approximately 1.1 x 2.8 inches. Beside this fixed size it is what you make of it! Choose whatever materials and techniques you like and show us how you worked within the theme.

How to participate

Make one or more Moos matching the current theme. Post them on your blog, flickr- or other photosharing site. Copy the direct link to your post, then leave a comment on this blog with a link to your Moos.
